Fans who spotted a lot of red, white and blue attire worn by the Sabrina the Teenage Witch Season 6 cast have been assured that all that patriotic style is not a figment of their imagination.
A TikTok posted last month featuring a montage of clips from the sixth installment of the spellbinding sitcom highlighted the tremendous amount of USA-style clothing on the cast.
“Pov you’re watching sabrina the teenage witch season 6 which aired after/was shot at the time of 9/11,” the TikTok reads.
As viewers can see in the video, many outfits incorporate red, white and blue, while others more prominently feature the American flag.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Sabrina herself, Melissa Joan Hart, confirmed the theory about the wardrobe for Season 6, which aired shortly after 9/11 on Oct. 5, 2001.
“A friend told me they saw this on TikTok and I had to repost it!” she wrote on Instagram on Wednesday (Feb. 21). “I’m not sure I’ve ever shared this but after #september11 our nation came together in so many beautiful ways to stand with neighbors and against terrorism.”
She continued, “On #SabrinaTheTeenageWitch I insisted on wearing red, white and blue in every episode (as did my co-stars) as a small symbol of our support for a nation in mourning and confusion. Here they are compiled into one spot. 🇺🇸”
Elisa Donovan, who portrayed Morgan Cavanaugh in over 50 episodes of Sabrina, wrote in the comments section of the post, “I remember shooting all of this. What a time that was 🙏 ❤”
Sabrina debuted on ABC in 1996. Hart, the show’s titular teen witch, is also known for starring as Clarissa on Clarissa Explains It All, and she more recently stunned fans after appearing as a grandmother in the new Lifetime film Would You Kill For Me? The Mary Bailey Story.
In response to the surprised reaction that she was playing a grandma, she shared on Instagram that she “couldn’t be more flattered that people don’t think of me as a grandmother (no matter how possible it is at the age of 47).”
“I guess now Clarissa can Explain AARP or play the Middle-Aged Witch,” she quipped.
